BIOMORPHOSIS is a series exploring the combination of nature with man-made materials.
I use this series as a way to not only improve my 3D modeling skills, but also as a way to appreciate the intricate details of the world around me; how a moth’s antenna has a similar structure to a feather, or how the muscles in a snake’s mouth stretch. BIOMORPHOSIS is not an attempt to improve the natural world based on our own perceived aesthetics, but rather an attempt to understand it.

Biomorphosis started as just a model of a moth. Intrigued by the way moth's move and the cartoonish proportions of their eyes, I wanted to practice my sculpting and texturing skills through a personal project. While I'm not the biggest fan of insects, I can appreciate the intricate beauty they possess.
Like moths, I think we can all pursue warmth and light in our own lives.
The next venture in the series is a blooming flower with a chrome stamen and branch. Modeled after an orange blossom, the flower grows on a tree of chrome.
As 2025 is the Year of the Snake, I wanted to explore the idea of a chrome snake, or cobra rather. Scales lend themselves to a metallic material as they already have a shine and uniformity to them.
